Sharing files with Apex

I would like to set up a process that all files are editable by the whole company. I can set each file manually to have whole company collaboration but this is a pain and forces users to memorize steps. I tried to have a trigger on insert that would add a ContentDocumentLink with a link to the org Id and sharing set to C. As far as I can tell, the documentation out there says that what I'm doing is correct.

Apex is below.  It hits the try/ catch below and fails with "12:24:06:252 USER_DEBUG [16]|DEBUG|Exception occurred on insert: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_OR_READONLY, Invalid sharing type C: [ShareType]"

Figured it out.  It seems in no situations should you have a trigger on ContentDocument.  It needs to be on ContentVersion.  Something to do with order of operations even though it's less efficient.

Share the code  to the issue .. please refer this code 

  
ContentDocumentLink cdl = new ContentDocumentLink();
cdl.ContentDocumentId = [SELECT Id, ContentDocumentId FROM ContentVersion WHERE Id =: cv.Id].ContentDocumentId;
cdl.LinkedEntityId = '00590000000a6dP';
cdl.ShareType = 'V';
insert cdl;

I'm not sure if I can edit.  Sorry about that.  I did this in a rush:
  
trigger setContentDocumentCollaboration on ContentDocument (after insert) {
    for (ContentDocument cd : Trigger.New) {
        String orgId = UserInfo.getOrganizationId();
        system.debug(orgId);
        ContentDocumentLink[] cdl = [SELECT LinkedEntityId, ContentDocumentId FROM ContentDocumentLink WHERE ContentDocumentId =: cd.Id AND LinkedEntityId =: orgId];
        if (cdl.size() == 0) {
            system.debug(cd.Id);
            ContentDocumentLink cdli = new ContentDocumentLink(ContentDocumentId = cd.Id, LinkedEntityId = orgId, ShareType = 'C', Visibility = 'AllUsers');
            //upsert cdli;
            try {
                
                insert(cdli);
                
            } catch(DmlException e) { System.debug('Exception occurred on insert: ' + e.getMessage()); }
        }       
    }
}

@Schneider I wrote a trigger on DocumentLink as before insert and changed the ShareType to "C" and end with this error as you Specified "INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_OR_READONLY, Invalid sharing type C: [ShareType]" Can you specify or suggest a solution for this. Thanks

You need to use the process I specified.  You can't change that field in a trigger.
